Newsom calls for Harvard president's resignation over Trump deal: Here's why critics say the agreement is surrender, not compromise

California Governor Gavin Newsom has called for Harvard University President Alan Garber's resignation amid reports of a $500 million settlement with the Trump administration. Critics argue the deal represents surrender, not compromise, as it may set a precedent for further federal demands on universities. Harvard's initial resistance has drawn internal opposition and public support, while Newsom vows to oppose similar demands targeting other Californian institutions such as UCLA.
